'I'm hoping that the SF Marathon team will reach out to some other races and say, 'This is what we did, this is how we did it, these were the results and you should try it'...'
Cal Calamia, a San Francisco-based high school teacher and advocate for nonbinary inclusion at races, won the nonbinary division of the marathon with a time of 3:00:00. Calamia was excited that marathon organizers embraced more inclusive running categories.
Now that the marathon is over, Calamia said they hope that the decision to include a nonbinary category at the San Francisco Marathon is the beginning of systemic change at races across California and the United States. "I've got my sights set on the California International Marathon, a big one out in Sacramento. They haven't been super receptive to me yet, so I'm waiting to hear from them," Calamia said.
Sagirah Ahmed Norris completed the marathon and was part of the"Not Done Yet Marathon Team," including runners given a chance to complete the 26.2 miles in San Francisco after being unable to finish other full marathons.
